Karl Kani is a 2015 SS/OF with a 5-8 150 lb. frame from Sherman Oaks, CA who attends Notre Dame. Medium frame, wiry athletic build. Quick twitch athleticism in the batters box and in the outfield. Quick hands, gets out of the box well and runs well, simple balanced swing. High hand set, high back elbow, good bat speed, contact approach, looks to drive the ball into the gaps and use his speed. Smooth fielding actions, quick feet defensively with clean transfers and a quick release. Covers good ground in the outfield as well, will need to develop arm strength over next couple of years to stick at shortstop, otherwise may have more value as a center fielder but appears likely to land at an up the middle position. Good student.
